“Devils Tower lies in a region of Triassic and Jurassic sedimentary strata. In Fig. 1 the flat valley in the foreground is the Gypsum Spring formation (Triassic), and the cliffs in the middle distance are members of the Sundance Formation (Jurassic). The tower itself is considered to be Tertiary on geological evidence.” from Bassett, W. A. 1961. Potassium-argon age of Devils Tower, Wyoming. Science 134: 1373.
